DREAM Act provides opportunity and makes America more fair

There are millions of young people who have lived here since childhood. Undocumented youth are our students and neighbors. They want to work. They want to succeed. But without a path to citizenship, those dreams won't be possible.
We need to address the realities of how we live and work. The original DREAM Act accomplishes just that. By providing a path to citizenship for young people who want to be here, we can build a nation that is more fair and more full of opportunities.
